Western Powers Must Construct Robust Airpower Architecture
As the Russo-Ukraine War potentially heads toward a ceasefire, Western policymakers must consider how to make the post-ceasefire reality sustainable. A key component of this is constructing a robust airpower architecture capable of deterring Russia. The proposed Allied Air Command for Ukraine, a multinational headquarters integrating Ukrainian air forces and allied aircraft, could provide a protective air dome for the country. This initiative, as reported by Breaking Defense, may be crucial in preventing Russia from exploiting any diplomatic pauses to rebuild and rearm.
